The balcony door shut and with it—The last thread holding Y/N Kishore together snapped for a few seconds she stood frozen then suddenly—She moved she rushed toward the main door and locked it from inside Click As if that thin piece of metal could protect her from her fate Her hands trembled violently her breathing became uneven tears blurred her vision she looked around the room—the rose petals, the candles, the decorated bed—It all felt like mockery with a broken cry, she pushed the side table It fell with a loud crash the candles dropped to the floor she grabbed the pillows and threw them across the room Pulled at the bed curtains, yanking them down in frustration rose petals scattered like pieces of her shattered heart “Why…” she sobbed, her voice cracking “Why did you do this to me…” She slid down to the floor, her bridal bangles clinking painfully against each other as she hugged her knees the mangalsutra hit against her collarbone heavy ,unwanted,unbreakable “I hate you…” she whispered through tears but she didn’t know which brother she meant.
